Résumé
On his way back to Rome in September/October 1460, after the Congress of Mantua and a protracted stay in Siena, Pope Pius II was met in Viterbo by envoys from Rome begging him to return to Rome as quickly as possible. In his response to the envoys, the oration “Flentem et admodum dolentem”, the pope promised to return as soon as possible, underlining some positive results of the Congress – otherwise a failure - as well as the advantages to the Romans accruing from the papacy, and the reasons for his protracted stay in Siena.
